Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with poor prognosis. Performing manual chest compressions is a serious obstacle for treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Here we introduce a case with refractory VT/VF where the patient was successfully treated with an automated chest compression device, which made revascularization with PCI possible.
ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者并发室性心动过速或心室颤动(VT/VF)与预后不良相关。行经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)时行人工胸外按压会造成严重阻碍。在此我们介绍一例难治性 VT/VF 患者,使用自动胸外按压设备成功治疗该患者,使 PCI 血运重建成为可能。
